And now Kanye West has made another public move to save his relationship Jimmy Kimmel.

After the comedian and host mocked the rapper’s controversial BBC Radio 1 interview, Kanye lost his temper in a string of online posts.

But he explained to 97.1 Amp Radio that him and Kimmy are both “frustrated creatives” and “in the same box”.

"We can be frustrated sometimes, we are frustrated creatives," he said. "I called him first as a friend. I said, 'I know you, man. I don't think we should be spoofing this',” he said.

West added: "Because after I did the BBC interview I was shaking, still a little bit nervous, like, 'What have I done? What have I opened up? Where is this going to go?' But I had a gut feeling it was going to end positively.

"And the fact that he spoofed it, he allowed me to let out everything I wanted to say to this dumb magazine over here or everything I wanted to say to this media outlet that's trying to undermine what it is that I'm doing, how hard it is for me to do it, and where I want to take things.

"It's like the gloves are off because we're on equal planes, so it allowed me to go so crazy on him."

The Blood On The Leaves rapper insisted there was nothing but “love” and “respect” for Kimmel despite their war of words.
